There are many, many ways to QAYG. This is the way I came up w/ to do this quilt w/ wider pieced sashing strips. It is working well for me, but I haven't started the long ones yet. I don't anticipate any problems just will need to be vigilant about keeping true seam allowance.

Two blocks, a sashing front and back and a batting piece to fit in the sashing space.

Trim the two edges that you are joining. (I don't trim backs until just before sewing to keep fraying at a minimum)

You will be pressing a 1/4 inch fold on the edge of your pieced sash, a hot iron and stick glue will be your friend.

Just one long edge is done this way.

You will line up the edge of the block w/ the raw edge of the pieced sash (right sides together) and the back sash to the back of the block (right sides together)

Pin matching seams and points. I am not a big pinner, almost never pin, but here it is a MUST for good results.

Stitch, a 1/4 inch seam allowance is important so you won't lose points.

Press your back sash in normal position (leave your front sash as it was sewn for now) I use sizing on the back sash seam as I press it to keep things more steady less likely to shift.

Now sew the next square to the sashing edge matching raw edges right sides together. (the right side of the new square back and the 1/2 sewn sashing) pin here too, it will make your life easier.

Seems I've reached my pic limit so to be continued.
